"We support the Legacy Walk because it is important to recognize the contributions LGBT people have made to better our world; hopefully this will inspire future generations to be fully inclusive and affirming of LGBT persons in all sectors of society. Next year Heartland Alliance will celebrate its 125th anniversary. Jane Addams was one of our founders and we inherited her commitment to advance the rights of the poor and the newcomer, and to work to build a world of justice and peace. Given our work with vulnerable LGBT populations in the US and around the world, we are honored to celebrate the legacy of our founder, Jane Addams."
